Is that you? **Malthus** , that is _exactly_ how I think of Texans. Spooky. **Lib** , you must be confused - when you say your **pittings** are the delusions of of insane people, I think you mean your **posts**. 😃 ---

That probably explanes some of my more stupid posts. God damn it, **askeptic** , anyone who drinks Bombay Sapphire is a friend of mine. There’s nothing better. Here is the heroic couplet completing a sonnet I wrote to cocktails: And now for me: Martini, stirred, Sapphire, Two olives, please. Colder, yes, and dryer. ---

Specifically, the parts about “no fake pittings” and “no joke threads”. The Pit isn’t a place where one can roast someone, and have it all be in good fun. Do this again and I’ll suspend your privileges for a week. I’d suspend them NOW, but I suspect that I’m even crankier than usual, so I’m bending over backwards for you. In any case, do not EVER post a fake or joke Pit thread again, or post to one. That goes for the rest of you, but ESPECIALLY **Chastain86**.
